PupaD,
Was your MOB dress by Gail Garrison? My mom and I were at Bridal Couture this afternoon and looked at a dress for her there too.

MJ,

Yes! The shoes are comfy - my mom thought I should get a spindly stiletto but I went w/ a bigger heel b/c I figured that I would be on my feet all night.

Oh, and I ordered my dress today!! Woo hoo.

Congrats on the dress... and i couldn't imagine wearing stilettos on the big day, talk about a foot massaging honeymoon!!!

My DF is FANTASTIC at back rubs and foot massages. I don't even have to ask and I get them. I try to make sure that I reciprocate though. Oh, I posted pictures of my dress and the dress for my girls on another thread.

Is anyone going to the great bridal expo tomorrow night in Manhattan?

Yes. I will be at the Great Bridal Expo. I hope to find some great deals with vendors. Hope to see you there...

Hey Ladies. I made some progress this weekend. So it helped lift a few burdens off my shoulders. We booked our photographer, videographer, DJ, limo, and floral arrangements for the bridal party. I feel so great. Things are slowly coming together. Thank God. Now I just have to worry about getting the money to pay for all of these vendors. But I am so relieved to have accomplished this because I return to grad school next week and my time will be consumed again with studying.

How was everyones weekends? I went to the Bridal Expo. I booked my limo from one of the vendors there. Everything else I already had.

Finally figured out the BM dress situation. MOH will suck it up and wear the same dress as the rest of the BMs in Victorian but she will order her dress from a place that is closer to her. I am placing the order from TWC for the two BM dresses (MOH was hodling everything up!) and I'm taking Jr. Bridesmaid to Fantasia Bridal tomorrow to get her dress since Rocky Point is much closer for FSIL. Hope to have all of this accomplished on my lunch hour!!!!

Hmmm,, i'm not sure.
But when we got there at 1:00, her dress was in the window, then they took it out for my mom to try on and she loved it.

You can do it! I have faith!

I just booked my florist on Saturday, still haven't ordered my invites (cuz our parents can't seem to get us final guest lists ). I'm hoping to do that by mid-February.
